The first social reactions to David Leitch's How to Rob a Bank are in, and most are having fun: Nicholas Hoult leads a crew of viral, Robin Hood-style bank robbers, with Zoë Kravitz, John C. Reilly, Anna Sawai and Pete Davidson along for the ride. Fans are calling it 'Point Break on steroids', while a few found the message muddled, and TheWrap's review calls it 'how not to make an anti-establishment film'. It's in cinemas on 13 November.
